Physical-Layer Security for Cooperative Wireless Networks over Alpha-Mu Fading Channels

A novel method called cooperative communication allows devices with a single antenna to share their antennae and assist other nodes in signal relaying. Thus, enhanced reception reliability, lower power usage, and increased spatial diversity are attained. This paper examines and analyzes a two-way, dual-hop cooperative network that uses α-μ fading channels and half-duplex mode, with a source and jammer for decode and forward relaying method, all while maintaining physical layer security. The system's secrecy performance is assessed by deriving the secrecy outage probability for a single relay. For the derived expression, theoretical results are provided.
